I'll be clear, this is not my story. I am merely the one writing it, because my companion, the one that story belongs to, cannot do it. Why ? Is he dead ? No, absolutely not. He's very much alive right now, and wouldn't be happy to be called dead. Did he lose his ability to write or something? You can say that… To be precise, right now it's because morphing back to a human is impossible. It demands a lot of mana and stamina, and he prefers to keep that for actual emergency cases. On top of that, it doesn't even last nearly long enough to write an entire story. "What ? Morphing ?" Yes, because he's a fox. Neither me nor him know how it happened, nor if it's a curse, a blessing or a condition, but for as long as I know him, it has been his life. "It's been since I was 16", he said.
How do I understand him if he's a fox ? Can he talk ? No, he can't talk. Right now, to communicate with him, I'm using a forbidden spell to link my consciousness with his so we can talk from soul to soul. We just need physical contact, so for now he's right there, curled up on my legs in an almost perfect circle, like a cat. (he doesn't like getting called a cat… But he's sooo cute when he's like that 😍… Ehm, sorry for that, that wasn't controlled…)

* You sure it's a good idea to add a preface like that ...?
- "Yeah, I think it's better to be honest with it. I hope that will also explain the weird way of writing."
* What I'm most worried about is the... Whatever the heck you've done when you compared me to a cat. That's really unprofessional.
- "Oh, that ! Well, it's a fun thing to add to get closer to the reader. It shows you have emotions and that you're human too. Well, human in the mind at least. It also makes it as if you're right next to them and you're telling them a super secret or something."
* If you say so…

Oh, the forbidden spell ? For those who don't know, Soul magic is banned and categorized as a forbidden magic. I happened to be a mage with access to soul magic, and I still think it's stupid to prevent people from using soul magic just because it can theoretically kill someone instantaneously by detaching the soul from their body.
Anyway, I'll try not to interfere too much with the story, but because sometimes I don't understand what he says because he uses weird sentences, there'll be some interpretations from my part, and I'll sometimes add precisions from my point of view. Most of the story will still be from his eyes, and it will still mostly be his words. Now, after that introduction… Enjoy the story, I guess ?
